According to the company, Foton La Union is the first dealership to have all types of Foton vehicles available under one roof. With it, the La Union showroom is capable of selling, as well as servicing passenger vehicles (PVs), light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy-duty commercial vehicles (HCVs). Moreover, the new dealership also houses a parts and service center which is aimed at bolstering Foton La Union's aftersales service, as well as cater to various mobility solutions in the region.
